"My Facebook Lover" Part 1- Jenny Chisom

He
started by responding to a job advert I posted on behalf of another
company on Facebook...he was asking me to help him get the job and help
edit his CV.

I wondered.

He started appreciating my personality and said I was every man's dream and will want to see me live.

It has been 2 years since then and my city is just 50mins away from his by air. Hmmn I kept wondering.

We started speaking on
phone and he would accuse me of not calling him sometimes. As I was
wondering what to tell this stranger if I ever decided to call, he calls
again asking me to choose our wedding date. Playfully and
introspectively, I chose a date then he quickly reminded me that our
brideprice is the highest in the country and I shouldn't expect him to
bear the whole costs, that my millions are for times like this. Even
though I couldn't boast of a 100k to my name...I listened.

Wondering it may make sense. No action further.

Incidentally I was in his city recently for holiday and he came to
visit me briefly to at least put a face to the personality on facebook. I
chatted exuberantly as always, encouraging him to be more especially at
work and showed him how to go about it and even offered to help.

He was calm, and appreciative.

He left and sent me an sms that read...."you inspired me". Once again I
was happy, God could use me to inspire this tall, dark and handsome
guy. (Ladies i'm so sure about this) lolz

Next day I got a call from him saying "i have been thinking, and want you to tell me if i can make you my wife" #Awkward I gave him the-ball-is-in-your-court kind of answer but mentioned that we needed to be friends first.

He continued "i am asking to get a Yes or No because you ladies that
are big and accomplished find it difficult to appreciate men like us who
are still finding their feet and not financially up to your standard...
bla bla bla"

Now I stopped wondering and Snapped!

My anger is: Why will a man who is almost 40years of age, conclude on my personality ignorantly just by facebook posts?

If you have not heard and entered for the #GhenGhenChallenge, this is for you:

There is a 18+ very interesting stage play coming to theatre in Abuja by 2MG Theatre showing at the British Council and it is "Overnight Trial" an adaptation of Aerial Dorfman's "Death and the Maiden".

So it's time to get creative
with your phone camera and win N50,000 on Sept 26, 2017!

It's been a tough past week so I am grateful for Sunday heralding a new week. I have been burdened to create a Code of Conduct for members of the League of Extraordinary Men (LExM) on Facebook. So while I couldn't attend service, I sat down and wrote this down on my note pad, then typed it. This came in a bid to begin to restructure the group to ensure it is serving the right purpose and the right men.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will notice, I put up my pastor and coach's picture last weekend because I was heart broken. He is Pastor Goodheart Ekwueme, the outgone (as much as I hate to use that) resident pastor of my local assembly in Abuja. I and all those who knows him, are going to miss him soooooooo much, it hurts.
